GRACIEMAG has a profound relationship with the ADCC. We’ve covered the event since its first event, in 1998. We’ve put together 3 special issues on the championship, as well as extensive coverage, always with the mass participation of our team of reporters and photographers.

For the eighth installment of the event, to be held September 26 and 27, reporter/photographer Ivan Trindade will head coverage directly from Barcelona, Spain. Trindade will also head this blog, which will concentrate all the news relevant to the event throughout the month of September.

We are counting on the participation of the reader community for the coverage to be that much better. Make the most of the open channel and comment whenever the urge should arise. But remember: you can cheer, but keep an educated level of discussion and don’t antagonize the other participants. Otherwise, we will be obliged to erase your comments and block your user.
